Repairing Cracks in Solid Walls using RESIN BAR Cross Stitching
 
 
Installation Procedure:
 
1.) Drill clearance holes (13mm-16mm diameter depending upon material and length of tie to be used) to specified depth and at required angle vertical spacing.
 

2.) Blow out holes and thoroughly flush with water.

 

3.) With the aid of a resin gun, pump RESIN to outlet of nozzle. Insert nozzle to full depth of drilled hole and pump resin to fill hole. Maintain pressure on gun while retrieving nozzle to ensure that all voids are filled with resin.

4.) Wind correct length RESIN BAR into hole using Drive support tool. Make good all holes at surface with colour matching dyed mortar.

Installation Notes:
 
Unless specified otherwise the following criteria are to be used. RESIN BAR can be used to restabilise horizontal cracks as well as vertical cracks.
 
a.) RESIN BARS to be installed at angles, the angle and distance from crack at the start position of the clearance hole will depend on the thickness of the wall being repaired.
 
b.) RESIN BAR start position, angle and depth, should make sure that the middle of RESIN BAR meets the crack at the middle of the wall being repaired.
 
c.) RESIN BAR to be installed from alternate sides of the crack and 225mm centres.
